National Spicy Guacamole Day, In the News, and Enjoy
National Spicy Guacamole Day - Today is National Spicy Guacamole Day. In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
Show your true green colors and good taste with avocados. Avocados are the choice of professional chefs and guacamole connoisseurs. Serve them proudly throughout the day and for the remaining 363 days for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more.
Avocado and Guacamole Tips
Select avocados that yield to gentle pressure when you squeeze them in the palm of your hand. Or if you’re planning ahead for your celebration, look for avocados that are firm to the touch. They will ripen naturally in four to five days. You can speed up the process by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana and store at room temperature.
Slice avocados lengthwise (cutting around the seed) and twist to separate into two halves. Use a spoon to gently remove the seed.
Keep unused avocado or your celebration guacamole from oxidizing by adding lime or lemon juice. Store in an air-tight container or wrap tightly in clear plastic wrap to limit the surface area exposed to the air.
Tortilla chips are traditional, but you do not have to be. Serve your guacamole with crisp sliced vegetables. Use it as a sandwich spread. Top a burger with a dollop of guacamole. Dress up grilled fish, chicken, or pork. Add a dash to an omelet. Your guacamole adventure is limited only by your imagination!

On this day in history: September 20, 1989 - A jury finds Richard Ramirez ("The Night Stalker") guilty of 43 counts, including 13 murders and assorted incidents of burglary, rape, and sodomy. Ramirez terrorized Southern California during a string of murders, sexual attacks, and burglaries. He would scrawl a pentacle in his victim's blood on the wall of each crime scene.

Another Landmark Disappears: At 7 AM yesterday morning, while driving to my office, I noticed a gathering of construction equipment and workers at the site of the original Catholic church. A new, much larger church was built many years ago to accommodate increased attendance. The old church was an historic landmark. At 3:30 PM yesterday afternoon, while driving to the market, I passed the spot where the old Catholic church had stood. There was no sign of it. Another historic landmark is gone! Be certain to view the slide show of historic Corning photographs described below!
New Links I have added two new links to the links section. The links are for photograph galleries of historic photographs of Corning and aerial photographs of Corning. The photographs may be viewed individually or as slide shows. Enjoy!
Our cats are unusually attracted to paper. One of the pipes under the kitchen sink broke, and Laura placed a sheet of paper over the drain to remind us not to use that sink. Zeus quickly leaped into the sink in order to posture atop the paper. Click to enlarge.
